I have had an interest in the technical elements of performances since I was a little kid. I really began to get into the technical elements of theater when I was in high school and I have loved it ever since. Since coming to Berkeley I have loved all of the experiences that I have gained in the scenic and lighting spheres of theater. The regularly offered theater courses are a treasure trove of information that is well suited for understanding the intricacies of technical theater. On top of that, there are also amazing opportunities to get hands-on theater experience through taking a one-on-one course with professors through Theater 169, or any of the other advanced technical theater courses. The theater department also offers work-study which gives students even more opportunities to get hands-on work experience while getting some money for your time. In all, I love the theater department at Berkeley, and I feel that it is truly preparing me to work in the world of theater in the future.
